Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Hearing the noise outside the house, Zandik raised his head, and his eyes fell on the complicated documents on the desk, and he could no longer concentrate on reading them.

He tied up the wound on his hand casually, stood up and changed his clothes. He wanted to go back early today.

The shadows of the green plants were cast on the road. Zandik lowered his eyes and looked at them. He had never known before that there were such pleasing green spots on the streets.

The scenery that had been ignored in the past now came into view. Zandik paused for a moment and found that he seemed to be in a state of "joy".

Where does this joy come from? Zandik thought casually, and an answer appeared in his mind, but he tried to hide it and chased it away.

You must not have too many expectations for a "surprise" prepared by someone, but rather you should prepare yourself for embarrassment.

My steps quickened slightly, and I felt a little more relieved when I thought that there were more than just empty rooms in my house.

An alluring sweet fragrance suddenly entered Zandik's nose. He turned his head slightly and looked towards a snack shop on the side of the road.

He was about to step in, but when he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment.

As for birthdays... Cheng Yan should prepare a cake. The one he makes must be better than the one you buy.

but……

Zandik raised his head slightly and looked at the golden and red sign in front of the store. The warm atmosphere and the tempting aroma made this environment rare and not unpleasant.

Pushing the door open and walking inside, Zandik went straight to the counter.

“Do you have any cakes here?”

The clerk was a young girl, and her face blushed slightly when she saw who was coming.

"Yes, we have. What kind would you like?"

“Birthday cake.”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then continued to ask patiently, "Yes, what kind of birthday cake?"

Zandik's expression was blank for a moment, then he repeated in a flat tone.

"Birthday cake, a cake for birthdays."

Little girl: “Okay…Okay.”

The little girl secretly glanced at the person in front of her several times, and seeing that Zandik had an expression that looked like he wanted to get the cake in the next second, she stammered and spoke.

"Guest, guest, how many people are eating? The cake needs to be made now. Do you want it today?"

Zandik thought for a moment, "Tomorrow."

Today is not a good day. If you rashly bring a cake back, how will someone perform tomorrow?

"Then please leave me your address and I'll make it and send it to you tomorrow."

A large bag of Mora and a note were left on the table. Zandik pushed the door open and touched the bell hanging at the door. The crisp sound was very pleasant.

tomorrow……

Turning around and looking at the shaking bell, Zandik's lips curled up in an imperceptible arc.

It seems not bad to arrive early occasionally tomorrow.

He walked back with ease, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw Cheng Yan bending over, concentrating on doing something.

Zandik didn't say anything, but walked forward, bent down and looked, and found that Cheng Yan was pruning the branches in the flower bed.

"What are you doing."

"Ah! Huh...Zan Zan, it's you. I was so scared. I didn't do anything. I just wanted to cut a few flowers off because they were in full bloom, but I was reluctant to do so."

Zandik took a look at the flowers and said, "Just a few flowers." Cut them if you want.

As soon as he said that, Cheng Yan took out the scissors without hesitation and cut off the beautiful branch.

Zandik raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Yan's movements without any pause.

"Didn't you say you were reluctant?"

Cheng Yan smiled and handed the flowers to Zandik.

"Just now I just looked at this flower and thought it was a shame to cut it because it was so beautiful. But now that Zanzan is back, I look at this flower again and feel that it is not as good as one of Zanzan's hairs, so it is not a shame to cut it off."

After Cheng Yan finished speaking, without waiting for Zandik to react, he stuffed the flowers into his hand and dragged him into the house.

"You're back just in time. Let's eat. It's been a while since we've eaten together. I missed you so much."

When shaking hands, Cheng Yan touched the bandage on Zandik's hand. He pulled his hand and looked down, and immediately became anxious.

"Zanzan, what happened to your hand?"

"nothing."

Zandik's tone was calm, but his heartbeat quickened a bit. This abnormality made him tilt his head uncomfortably, and he let Cheng Yan pull him into the house to apply medicine.

The cool breeze blew on the wound, and the wound, which was not painful to begin with, felt a little itchy. Looking at Cheng Yan's focused expression, Zandik couldn't help but raise his hand and gently touch the side of his face.

There was still worry on Cheng Yan's face. He raised his head after noticing his movements, but his brows were still furrowed.

"Does it hurt?"

Zandik's eyes were almost fixed on Cheng Yan's face, and he shook his head, "I don't feel anything."

Cheng Yan didn't think so. He angrily threw the bandage in his hand onto the table and said, "What did it do? It's pierced through. How can it not hurt? Zanzan, you don't even know how to protect yourself."

Cheng Yan crossed his arms and wanted to get angry. He hated seeing the people he cared about get hurt.

"I skinned the beast and he is dead."

Cheng Yan was still unhappy and kept staring at Zandik's bandaged hand.

Zandik looked up at him, "Don't you think I'm cruel? Cold-blooded?"

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and then he reacted and almost immediately jumped to Zandik's side.

"I don't think you're cruel! I don't think you're cold-blooded! Not for a single second!"

Cheng Yan emphasized in his tone that he knew that Zandik occasionally had some seemingly inhumane thoughts in his mind, but Zandik hadn't done it yet, and he was watching him. Zandik would not act on his own without considering his feelings.

What's more, Cheng Yan hopes that Zandik can be a normal person. Even if he is not righteous and kind, at least he will not do many evil things. But this is based on the premise that Zandik will not be harmed.

"Zan Zan, if someone takes the initiative to harm others, then no matter how you retaliate, it will not be excessive. You are the most important in my heart."

Cheng Yan held his hand and emphasized that he would not impose right and wrong, good and evil on others. He just didn't want the person he liked to have a bad future because of some actions.

If you do too many bad things, you will encounter ghosts, but if the ghosts come to you, there is nothing you can do but face them head on.

Cheng Yan held Zandik's injured hand and kissed it, "Damn beast, you made my Zandik injured."

Zandik couldn't help laughing when he saw Cheng Yan like this, and took the initiative to speak for the poor beast, "I was the one who skinned it first."

Cheng Yan pouted and slammed his head into Zandik's arms.

"I don't want to see Zanzan get hurt, anywhere. If Zanzan gets hurt, it's someone else's fault."

Zandik raised his hand and placed it on Cheng Yan's back, stroking him gently twice.

"How can you supervise me when you are so irrational?"

[Ding——Target Zandik’s favorability +2, current favorability 40, congratulations to the host, the upper limit of the target Zandik’s favorability is 50, and another 10 points of favorability will be full]

Cheng Yan ignored the system and hugged Zandik, feeling distressed for a while.

If Zanzan would get hurt, then he wouldn't want to insist on some things. He just wants everyone he cares about to be well.
